Freshwater has excellent access to the other coastal location on the West of the Isle of Wight and walks run along the coast in both directions.

Afton Farmhouse is a very spacious and comfortable cottage with big bedrooms. It was perfect for us on a big family break. The only downside was one shower in the property,and no tumble dryer. This west side of the island was beautiful: Tennyson Down, Newtown not to be missed. Overall Rating: 5 Stars
Loved the Isle of Wight. We had a really good holiday and would like to return. We could easily have spent another week exploring. Overall Rating: 5 Stars
